Ingredients:  
Ordinary grocery store pineapple
Dish with a little water
Sunny window
Good potting soil
Large pot
Directions:
Directions:
Cut the top off the pineapple, leaving about an inch of flesh below the greenery.
Place the top in the dish of water (water only half way up the flesh) for 3 days in a well-lit window.
Plant the top in a large pot with some really good potting soil.
Don't worry if you don't see any root sprouts when you go to plant the top, it will still take root.
That's it! Your done!! You have planted a pineapple!!!

In 24 months (sounds better than two years) it will look like this. Once your pineapple has been planted please make sure that you do not over water it. This tropical plant likes to be watered about twice a week straight down the middle. The dirt should be damp or moist…not saturated and fertilize well. This is an indoor plant, so if you do put it outside during the summer, be sure to keep a weathered eye on it. Now if you live in a tropical area unlike myself, the directions will probably change for indoor outdoor care. This is also a wide plant, make sure you have the room for it before you commit.

*Please bear in mind that I am not a horticulturist. All of the directions that I received were like any other here in the south, passed down from neighbor to neighbor.*

Personal Notes:
This could be the next best thing to living on a island surrounded by white beaches, turquoise waters and eating slices of fresh pineapple in the shade of a palm tree :)
